[Nexus One Android Development] Docmjldds:
You know something. I was REALLY going to hold off, but excuse me..."wise ass mouth's like yours should maybe tone it down a bit. I have been around the block a few times here. I probably have one of the first N1's delivered. (Jan 15th) I think I know how to install a ROM. I wrote an elaborate method, that enabled me to install Micromods Hybrid 1.5 version, which would ONLY boot loop no matter what. I had NO PROBLEMS with Evils stuff up to V1.18. I had posted a version of this on Micromod's thread. Was really hoping this method would work for 1.20 here. Sadly, I was still stuck on the HTC logo screen during the boot and posted a logcat, to Eviol previously. And finally, I not only formatted and recreated EXT partitions on my current 16Gb card that has NO problems, I have another brand new card I tried with the same result. Below was what I had posted which besides reformatting an SD card goes farther, than any other method to date posted here or anywhere else on XDA, AFAIK.

See below, and in the future, please don't feel that just because something works for you, all the other people here with issues are some sort of noobs, below your level of expertise. Plus maybe your momma should teach you some Forum etiquette WRT language. If I was the moderator here, you would have been placed on a time out a long time ago.

Enough said. If you don't have a decent apology to post back, then really don't bother the rest of us, trying to get stuff to work. Plus I have for a long time worked along with many of the themers and develops here on XDA in the background.

Installation Background:

To use an example, I tried multiple times to get MicroMods latest 1.5 Hybrid Sense to install. Constant boot loops with the HTC quietly brilliant boot animation. After changing my method of installation, using BOTH clockwork recovery AND Amon's latest 1.8.0.1 it installed with no problems and it is fully functional so far. Again, my method requires BOTH recovery processes to work.

1. Install Rom Manager which is Free on the market. This is only if you currently don't have it on whatever setup you are running.

2. Boot to Clockwork Recovery. (Run Rom Manager on setups that do NOT currently have the latest Clockwork installed via Rom Manager)

3. On the menu, look at the mounts and storage menu options where you will see FORMAT commands. This is where the difference for me, made this work.

Format the following:

1. Boot Partition

2. System

3. data

4. Cache

5. (SKIP SD CARD UNLESS YOU WANT TO WIPE THAT!!)

6. SD-EXT

****When you install ROM Manager, then from the menu flash install Clockwork Recovery, this WILL replace any flavor of AMONRec. So have the img file used for the AMON installation available, You will need this to install again.

Push Power button now to go back to prior menu. Not sure this is necessary, but I still ran the wipe Dalvik Cache

Push Power button again to get to the reboot system choice. Use trackball to reboot system, and as a soon as you initiate this with a quick trackball push/release, hold the trackball down to get the N1 to boot to Fast Boot Bootloader option.

Connect the phone with USB to your PC, and from the tools folder you have with fastboot commands and the AmonRec img, flash the img file back on to restore AmonRec. This for me was absolutely critical. When using Clockwork Recovery menu to install the flash zip fron SD card, to run the installation of whatever ROM you want to clean install, at least for me, I still got those horrible boot loops or Frozen screen on the Nexus logo. Changing to Amon and running the install from this process was the ONLY way I got MicroMod 1.5 hypbrid sense to install.

so again, from fast boot menu:

fast boot devices to make sure you see your phone, the run the command: fastboot flash recovery <amon .img file>

Boot back to a normal amon recovery and flash the install from SD card. Cross fingers that it works :D

***Doing this now with Evils latest which always had failed to install.*****

Again, sadly, this did not work for me.
